I may not use any springs. Hoping to use a semi-pneumatic set up.
If I do use springs, I have a cool little dual rate set up that I will use.

KNowing Dirk I would say he is running Mag Mayhems. Looking PIMP there Dirk. I need to call you and get some more info on the chassis, looks like it is something different than my idea for the varient of BD that the Almost Stock TXT will be turning into. Keep up with the updates!

I'll probably go to a single Mag Mayhem in this project. In the pic, yes, it is a Rush 23 turn. Works pretty good too. Mags are better though. I just wanted to test the Orion motors.

Ah. So you're finally back huh?

I was hoping you could employ me on the Carnage Crew team or something. Although, I'd probably be to lazy to help out when you needed me anyway. Forget it. I'll just remain a semi-unemployed rc car builder.

By the way....I told you I needed a project.....and here she is!

suspension is almost complete. completely adjustable ride height and travel. Here she is "Slammed". This thing will be hard to roll over. See the next picture for the "Cirus Jeep".

Don't even ask about how the adjustability works!

Here's a more moderate ride height. It will run at the slammed height most of the time.

Dirk, do you buy a new truck for each build up you do, or do you just rebuild an old truck?

So how many trucks do you actually have? I've seen so many of them.

Haha.
Currently, I only have two crawlers. This one and the Digler. I also have a race built Stampede. I have had a few Savages, Tmaxx's and an XFactor.
